Na so o. As parents, we must make a conscious effort to ensure that our children don't lose our precious dialects. The western world is taking pride in the fact that their own local dialects are being internationalized while our own people are ashamed of their own language. As a rule, in my house we speak Yoruba to the children and English from time to time |

No Regret! Must I speak my dialect.... I am from a "minority" ethnic group and my language is not a generally spoken one. Atleast, from d three major Languages in Nigeria I can speak and write Yoruba to some extent; let say 85%. If I'm to learn any language it will be from d major languages biko.. |

Re: Any Regret Not Knowing How To Speak Your Dialect? by Nobody: 11:43am On Jul 22, 2014 |
GodMode:What is "yankee" ? They learnt both in Nigeria and America. They spent several months at University of Ibadan and also in an "immersion " programme meaning they lived with a Yoruba family that only spoke Yoruba to them and also exposed them to cultura aspects. They also had some exposure to broadcasting with a radio station in Ibadan |

Re: Any Regret Not Knowing How To Speak Your Dialect? by GodMode: 11:48am On Jul 22, 2014 |
iwonbaoko: What is "yankee" ? No.. I have their videos... They learnt it for 2 years in America (not really sure I'll have to watch it again).. Before going to Ibadan. What I mean is they were already fluent in Yoruba before their first visit to Nigeria. |

Re: Any Regret Not Knowing How To Speak Your Dialect? by Nobody: 11:57am On Jul 22, 2014 |
GodMode:I do not know why there is a need to manufacture a meaningless argument. What is YOUR point because honestly I cannot see any. Do you have videos before they came to Nigeria. What evidence have you got that they were fluent before coming to Nigeria? Even in the video they are NOT FLUENT. just ok They started learning in America and came to UI for further studies and also were embedded in a Yoruba family home for further training . Are you disputing those facts? The purpose of posting the video is to show others that they are in an even better position especially those who claim to "understand but cannot speak" if they follow a similar programme |

benbuks: could understand & speak to some substantial extend , though not much . kinda regret sha , but all the same am not ashamed ( at least no be food ..lol.)' Nigeria needs to dis-integrate to move forward or each region should let schools teach in their dialect except for some universities. There was no Nigeria for over 2000 years and yet I'm sure there were inter-tribal marriages during those days... 1 Like |

I am nt really an aje butter but I regret not knowing hw to communicate with my dialect....infact my parents never communicated with us with the ijaw dialect so the language I ended up understanding was yoruba..because that was all I could hear people speak around me.... Now I feel this rush to learn the ijaw language... |

iwonbaoko: I do not know why there is a need to manufacture a meaningless argument. What is YOUR point because honestly I cannot see any. [b]Do you have videos before they came to Nigeria[b] It Seems u can't decode english well... No I do not dispute those facts. They had already learnt it fluently in America before coming to Nigeria and NO I am not trying to argue. |
Re: Any Regret Not Knowing How To Speak Your Dialect? by Nobody: 12:10pm On Jul 22, 2014 |
GodMode:No I cannot decode sorry. What evidence do you have that they had already learnt it fluently before coming to Nigeria please show it. The purpose of posting the video is to show others that they are in an even better position especially those who claim to "understand but cannot speak" if they follow a similar programme. i.e learn how to read it and then "total immersion" That is the reason for posting and not to indulge in meaningless rumination |

iwonbaoko: No I cannot decode sorry. What evidence do you have that they had already learnt it fluently before coming to Nigeria please show it. because of what u said, I decided to watch titilayo's video... In the video, she said she learned yoruba for 3 years in U.S. before coming to Nigeria.. And she spent over 6 months in Nigeria. I am watching the video right now cos of u. |
Re: Any Regret Not Knowing How To Speak Your Dialect? by Nobody: 12:22pm On Jul 22, 2014 |
GodMode:Fact is they learnt more about reading and writing in America and came to Nigeria for the practical side of things.Clearly there is a huge advantage for Nigerians if they can take time to learn how to read and write too that is my point. THEY WERE NOT FLUENT BEFORE THEY CAME and even now one can hardly say they are fluent but they have done well |
